“While I hope we never have to see another video like Diamond’s, it reminds us why coming together to build a more open and connected world is so important — and how far we still have to go.”

Zuckerberg didn’t mention how the video was taken down for about an hour before it was reposted with a graphic content warning, due to what a spokesperson described as a “technical glitch,” or the overall ethical and policy issues that Live brings up for the company.
